Question
What is the affect of not having a Device Management License on a Panorama Virtual Appliance?
Environment
- Panorama Virtual Appliance
- Upgrading to PAN-OS 8.1+
Answer
When upgrading Panorama Virtual Appliance to PAN-OS 8.1, it will prompt if a capacity license has not been successfully installed or if the total number of firewalls being managed by Panorama exceeds the device management license. It will allow 180 days from the date of upgrade to install a valid device management license, if no license has been installed. If the number of managed firewalls exceeds the device management license, it will allow for 180 days to delete firewalls to meet the device management license requirements or upgrade the device management license. All commits fail if a valid device management license is not installed, or the existing device management license limit is not met, within 180 days of upgrade.
